related charge, Colson founded Prison Fellowship in 1976.
The organization consists of a
network of more than 14,000
volunteers—organized in 156
local Care Committees—and
a staff of 170. In addition to its
ministry of evangelism, Christian counseling of inmates,
and assistance to inmate families and ex-offenders in the
U.S., Prison Fellowship is also
active in 30 foreign nations.

to the assistant secretary of
the Navy in 1955-56, and as
an administrative assistant to
the lale U.S. Senator Leveretl
Saltonstall of Massachusetts

he was a partner in the Washington and Boston law firm of
Gadsby and Hannah, and from

plea of guilty to disseminating derogatory information to
the press about Daniel Ells-
berg, who at the time was
awaiting trial for theft and
publication of classified documents.
Subsequently, Colson
served seven months of a one-
to-lhree year sentence in two
federal prisons. Released in
1975, he contemplated a return
lo private life, but found himself unable to forget the countless human tragedies he had
encountered behind bars.

he has returned to prison on
many occasions, visiting and
speaking in some 200 institutions.
A Southern Baptist, Colson
